I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Barcelona's gay district, making it super convenient for exploring. The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive, and the spa facilities were a much-needed treat after a long day of sightseeing. However, there were a couple of hiccups with the service, and I wish the decor in the rooms was a bit more inviting.

I had a memorable stay at this hotel, thanks to the exceptional service provided by the staff, especially during our honeymoon. The amazing rooftop bar was a great spot to unwind, and the central location made exploring the vibrant city easy. However, I faced some issues with receiving the correct room configuration at check-in and the pool and spa facilities weren't quite warm enough for my liking.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel, where the staff truly made my experience unforgettable. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, contributing to my overall comfort. I absolutely loved the rooftop bar; it was a perfect spot to unwind after a busy day exploring the city. However, my visit to the spa left a bit to be desired, as some amenities, like the sauna, were not as warm as I hoped. Overall, value for money was great considering the location and the brilliance of the staff.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of fantastic experiences and a few letdowns. The rooftop bar was truly spectacular with a lively atmosphere, and the staff went above and beyond to make my visit enjoyable. However, I was a bit disappointed with the room size; it didn’t match my previous experiences with 'Premium Rooms.' While the location was perfect for exploring, the bathroom layout could have been better thought out. Overall, I'd recommend it for the rooftop and staff, but I think the room setup needs a bit of work.

Rooms

The room was marketed as 'Premium,' but it felt smaller than expected and lacked adequate space for our belongings. The bathroom setup wasn't ideal, with a large window that was quite revealing.
